From my experiences I can tell You that You should definitely go for
the newest XFree86. You have to get it from CVS and compile fom source.
The i830M driver is only included in this CVS version (as a part of i810
driver). Also, don't forget to compile the i830 drm module supplied with
the XFree86 CVS (it is in:
Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/drm/kernel/ ) - do not use the one
supplied with the standard kernel - it doesn't work. As for the
configuration file, I use the file automaticaly generated with the
"XFree86 -configure" command, with slight modifications: Just add these
lines to Your screen section (the hi-res modes are needed for the
external monitor display)
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1600x1200" "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1024x768"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1600x1200" "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1024x768"
EndSubSection
You can also enable "DRI" int the "i810" drivers options.
Just for completeness my configuration is:
kernel-2.4.13 (custom built), XFree86 4.1.99.1 (latest CVS) + drm kernel
module for i830 chipset from XFree86 source tree.
If You still have problems I will supply You with the actual XF86Config
file.

Adam Kisiel
